I wanted to filter www.friends.com so I made a file called domains.diff containing the line '+friends.com' which I put in the same directory (porn) as domains and domains.db. I made sure it had the same owner, group and permissions as the others then did: squidGuard -u [btw, I need to do Ctrl-C afterwards to get prompt back] Afterwards, squidGuard.log shows line: /var/squidguard/db/porn/domains.diff!: No such file or directory Why is it searching for "domains.diff!"? Before Christmas I made a custom directory in db with subdirectories of good and bad with these last two holding a file each called domains. These are referred to in the config file. I now see that corresponding .db files are not being created for these either. I would be grateful for any help to get set up running properly. Thanks, Nigel -- Nigel Pauli - I.T.
